  • I was about to upload that. Then turns out they use a third party to process this…

    During the sign-up process, they referenced even more third parties… so I gave up.

  • My biggest gripe is that it’s done through a third party, Persona ID.

    They make you agree to another set of terms and conditions which opens you up to even more 3rd parties.

    Were this limited to just Microsoft I might have caved.














  • Ty for the tips! Makes sense that a lot of those Radeon settings are default. I did mainly have a slight underclock on the GPU and a minor auto bump on the CPU after tweaking the curve optimizer to -15.

    I’ll do more digging with the network thing when I’m at my PC and update as I go.

    How do I set display scaling below 100%? That was the instinct but there is only a slider and it doesn’t go below 100%, some googling got me some xrand commands for making a 1440p profile but that ends up with an out-of-range message on the monitor.

    With the gamescope util, the %command% would be the path to the game exe/bin that’s usually there?

    I did end up finding things like snapping from Powertoys which was my biggest thing now looking for shortcuts for them. Think the other is finding a run menu, I’ve heard there are some just need to find one.

    For Wayland vs X, I’m not sure what this version is running but I’m hoping I don’t have to think about that much. The main usage is just games which I got working in an hour tinkering and occasional vscode/ium and Arduino IDE. Still need to tinker with making xprog work or finding an alternative that works with that USB programmer.

    Speaking of games, is it possible for Steam to consolidate its sandboxes? I imagine having so many redundant copies of mfc140 and other DLLs would be eating at the space? There also seem to be some effects missing, namely, Bloom. It seems to have issues rendering in comparison to Windows, is this a case of missing DLLs or just the proton layer not translating them yet?

    Thank you so much for your time and info, I’m quite excited about making this all work!
